14 Zo geschiede, dat die jonge dochter, tot welke ik zal zeggen: Neig toch uw kruik, dat ik drinke; en zij zal zeggen: Drink, en ik zal ook uw kemelen drenken; diezelve zij, die Gij Uw knecht Izak toegewezen hebt, en dat ik daaraan bekenne, dat Gij weldadigheid bij mijn heer gedaan hebt.

3028. Verses 5-6. And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; bringing shall I bring back thy son unto the land whence thou camest out? And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not back my son thither. “The servant said unto him,” signifies the Lord’s perception concerning the natural man; “Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land,” signifies a doubt of the natural man concerning that affection as to whether it was separable; “bringing shall I bring back thy son unto the land whence thou camest out?” signifies a question whether it could nevertheless be conjoined with the Divine good of the rational; “Abraham said unto him,” signifies the Lord’s perception from the Divine; “Beware thou that thou bring not back my son thither,” signifies that it could by no means be conjoined.
